*locked from Seymour*

Naturally. He's come to claim me.

Murphy is silent for a while. Quietly, he repeats,

More than a ghost; less than a life...

Sounds familiar.

How will you handle him?

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

I will find a way to get close enough to Send him. Whether I have to meet him under false pretenses or fight him until he can't object, I have to Send him before he kills me or someone close to me.

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

All by yourself?

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

I have no choice, really. My Guardians aren't here, and it isn't fair to ask that from anyone else.

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

I am inclined to assist you.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

*studies him and speaks, quietly* Please understand that I am not attempting to sway your kindness, but do you understand the dangers in this?

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

Not just yet.

What concerns me, however, is not the danger.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

...What, then, Murphy?

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

Can't kill a man without knowing for sure I should.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

*...carefully* I plan to kill him with or without your assistance, sir.

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

You've got the facts at hand.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

Admittedly, but I wish to be sure I won't be stopped.

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

Jury's out on that one, as well.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm in the clear on that one. I've already been tried and sentenced for his murder. Double jeopardy.

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are legal loopholes going both directions, but...

The law doesn't address killing the already deceased.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be killing him, though. I would be putting his spirit to rest!

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

My mistake.
